Imet gentleman recently who told me
that he never made but one bet in his life,
and although he won it yet the money
brought him SO much bad luck that he
never repeated the offence. II was made
on a Presidential election and he won
$500. He was away from home at the
time and he invested the money in a
handsome set of furniture for his wife.
Their home was being improved and this
set of furniture would be surprise to

Do you send your heart before you, dear
When coming home at night,
That feel your presence drawing near,
While still you're far from sight9
Does the soul outrun the body, dear,
That an eehoing football fieet,
Strikes ON an inner listening ear
Before your own greetS
Thy loving smile lights up the space
OF twilight darkening down;
feel warm kisses on my face,
While still sit alone.
Hasten to one whose happy fate
Is 10 thy care to dwell;
Hasten where Love and Duty wait,
Their greeting sweet TO tell.
A manly step-7qulck, firm and light
Rings out above the rest.
All, Heart you heard it and were right
Tia his whom We love best
